Mozilla’s breakthrough or “nothing special”?

On the 24th of February, 2013 Mozilla Foundation demonstrated a preview of the commercial version of Firefox OS and also shared plans to advance mobile operating system. That happened just before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona but they left some “secrets” to tell for the MWC event including the characteristics of the first devices based upon the Firefox OS although some of the journalists managed to photograph one of the characteristics of smartphones. Well, the first wave of Firefox-devices will be launched in Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, Mexico, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Venezuela. As for other markets they will enjoy the OS after a while.

Seventeen key operators in above mentioned regions already agreed for promotion of devices based on Firefox OS Mozilla Foundation.
Among them there are América Móvil, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Hutchison Three Group, KDDI, KT, MegaFon, Qtel, SingTel, Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia Group, Telefónica, Telenor, TMN and VimpelCom. In fact, operators have expressed full support for the initiative of Mozilla as they perceive new OS being open source and free variable. Through this network operators will be able to adapt without any problems running for their needs, add software and services.

As for the “hardware” issue which is the production of devices based on the Firefox Os we know Mozilla is working with Alcatel (TCL), LG and ZTE. The first version of devices are ready and preliminary version of some of them were shown earlier. According to developers the users will appreciate the devices since they will work speedy providing full access to the network as well as integration with network applications. Actually, such integration is not outstanding and could surprise the market but still a new OS can really attract all those who bored mobile platforms like iOS and Android.
As for the first devices based on the Firefox OS the characteristics of one of them photographed by an anonymous source who provided information resource Engadget.
Presumably, the “leak” in this case is no different from those of “leaks” with the new devices from Apple and Samsung. One can only wonder that no one has forgotten the new Firefox-smartphone in the bar.
